What does it take to get into Y Combinator? Kathryn Wu graduated from University of California, Berkeley in computer science and started her career as a product engineer at Pinterest. But her entrepreneurial spirit led her to co-found Openmart (YC W24), a platform that helps startups selling to local businesses discover leads easily based on specific needs. OpenMart is backed by Y Combinator, receiving a $500K investment. But what shaped her journey? 1. The Early Entrepreneurial Spark: In high school, Kathryn sold over 1,000 copies of a magazine she created, summarizing advice from top students on getting into elite colleges. 2. Side Hustle to Startup: While working at Pinterest, Kathryn launched OT, a tea brand, and encountered fragmented retailer information—a challenge that sparked the idea for OpenMart. 3. The YC Experience: Despite the economic downturn, Kathryn and her team secured a spot in YC with their unique insights and strong founder-market fit. YC's community and support were pivotal, guiding them through two interview rounds and towards success. 4. Building in Public: Embracing transparency, Kathryn publicly shared OpenMart’s journey, bringing in leads and investor interest. However, she emphasizes focusing on #product development for long-term #success. We invited Kathryn to share her journey on our podcast, from high school hustles to securing #YC backing. ??
